MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
2-22
Multi-Line Connections (PBX)Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often
relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX
(Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the
company that installed your telephone system and ask them to
connect the MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for
the MFC. You can then leav e the MFC in FAX mode to receive faxes
any time of day or night.
If the MFC is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your
installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This
prevents the unit from being activated each time a telephone call is
received.
As with all fax units, this machine must be connected to a two
wire system. If your line has more than two wires, proper
connection of the MFC cannot be made.
If you are installing the MFC to work with a PBX:
1
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under
all circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should
be reported first to the company that handles your PBX.
2
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard
operator, it is recommended that the Answer Mode be set to
MANUAL. All incoming calls should initially be regarded as
telephone calls.
3
The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing
telephone service.
